Come and join us!

With the start of a New Year come the New Year resolutions, the promise to quit smoking, and 2008 is the year I lose weight and get fit, and that is all going to happen in the first month, sound familiar.  We have all been there at some time in our life, but you know that it can happen, not in the first month, but it can happen.  2008 can be the year you achieve all of the above if you, prioritize, take it one day at a time, set small achievable goals at first, and very important, be disciplined.

Gumboots! Rain! Mud! Rain!  Pink-Eye! Wormy calves! Rain!  Mud! Thistles!. Stinking Roger! Rain! Mud!

What a summer we are having! But there is grass and water too, what a novelty for our sunburned hills!

Our daughter and her family came over to the Sunshine State from the Land of the Long White Cloud for two weeks and Christmas. They didn’t see the sun once.  But they went home to clear warm sunny days – certainly aberrant weather for Auckland too!

This is the first time since we have been on the Mountain that we have seen pink-eye or barber’s pole anaemia in young calves on their mothers – so be warned!
